Just wanted to start off by saying...GO CARDS GO!!!!!!!!!!

The Cubs will finally come through and win the big one this year.

The real question is, how high would you rank the best NL team among the AL teams?

Good start for Pujols(2 HR), The Braves started out good then almost blew a 8 run lead and Keith Foulke is going to continue to worry Red Sox fans.

I'm a die hard Cubs fan, and today's win was stellar. I am just not sure if they can keep it up. At least their bench has more depth than it has had since the 2003 season that they blew. Now, if their two Aces of the DL can get off the DL and actually do something, there may be something to talk about! The rookie in Left field is one to keep an eye on. Matt Murton ended last year strong and started this year strong. The threat of having an actual leadoff man in Juan Pierre, helps too....

I'm thinking "Crosstown Classic" here in Chicago for the World Series. Marshal Law would have to be initiated if that ever happened.... It'll go to the 7th game if it happened. The Sox are good, but they seem to have issues with the Cubs.

We'll see what happens...

Good thing the A's got Frank Thomas. He's producing the only offense so far.

Go Chisox and Astros... again!

I would love to see my two favorite teams battle it out again, only the Astros can win it this time.

This was great!

FEARLESS PREDICTIONS!

AL Playoff Teams:
NYY (money can buy you happiness...but not a world series...too old)
CWS (good returning core)
OAK (young pitching is a good thing)
CLE (it is their turn to make the playoffs)

NL Playoff teams:
ATL (no on has the pitching to beat them in the NL West)
STL (obvious, best team in the NL)
LAD (most upgraded team next to T.O.)
PHI (enough offense to beat ATL but not enough pitching in a hitters park)

News and Notes:
-most imporved team will be Milwakee (very young)
-most dissapointing team will be the NYM (again)
-Pierre, Figgins, Podsednik, Reyes will have a great race for the SB crown and someone will get 80+ (who cares about the HR race eh?)
-Manny won't get traded (who cares?)
-Bonds will play, bet booed, get hurt, look even worse, throw a fit, hit a reporter.... and then finally retire...good riddance
-STL will win 100 games again
-Ichiro comes back in a HUGE way
-Pujols decides it is time to push for 30-30
-the Cubbies season will die on the arms of Wood and Prior as Zambrano finally runs out of gas as well
-Ortiz eats poutine in Toronto for the first time, gets addicted and gets even fatter, eliminating any chance of him bending over for a grounder at 1B ever again
-Rolen returns to form and 'Murders Row' is rebourn
-Adam Dunn and A Jones hit over 50 HR but the real race is who can get to 200 Ks first
-best division in baseball will be the NL Central with STL, HOU, CHC, MIL all finishing above .500
-if healthy, STL finally wins the WS with the best pitching rotation in MLB and Murderers Row in full effect (..really, what did you expect?)

Just an FYI-The MLB Extra Innings cable package is free this week.

It's snowing outisde and I'm watching CLE vs CWS ......can you say hit batters?!? Damn, I've seen 4 so far!

Yeah CLE vs CWS last night was pretty foolish...didn't look like the two contenders everyone has them picked as...

NYY vs OAK last night...I love watching Joanne Damon throw the ball in from the outfield. hahaha


Yes, he did catch it...in the 9th...to save Foulke's ass.

I wonder if Damon can actually throw the ball from the wall to 2B? What a weakling....I am thinking Paplebon will be in soon for good as Foulke is a bum! Pujols with 3 HR, 3BB, and is 3-6....GO CARDS GO!!!!

Gotta love Cubbies vs Cards on a sunday nite!!!! And Pujols and Rolen welcomed the young Marshall to the big leagues in style! GO CARDS GO!!!!!!

Props to Marshall, the kid has stood in an pitched amazing...wonder if Ponson could lob it to Jones next time?

when does the mlb preview end? I have to order it.

It's still going?!?! Sweet! I might order it, when hockey ends. I dunno, I don't watch much in the summer. ESPN shows a lot of games and I can watch/listen to 162 Red Sox games? I think I'll be all set.

Man, that movie is farker heaven.

It would be nice to see the Indians make a run for the playoffs.
I saw that Kansas City is still in the toilet, where is George Brett when you need him?

I like my prediction more and more. Although I'm not really going out on a limb because the 'Stros and the Chisox are obviously still the best teams in baseball until someone beats them, but they both look very strong again this year (barring any injuries). Once the 'Stros get the Rocket back, I definitely think they'll beat the Chisox this time.

Pujols is a machine...10 HR and counting...and 17 BB...will be a big year RBI wise for Rolen and Edmonds if they stay healthy...I think it would be awful fitting if Pujols could slug out 75 HR and then everyone could forget about Barry whatshisname...GO CARDS GO!!!

Derek Lee out for at least 3 months. Geezus mother fucking cock sucking christ. What the goddam cocksucking fuck do us Cub fans have to do to get a mutherfucking break.
